Why did Henry lose faith in the Catholic religion?

Henry did not lose faith in the Catholic Church.

Therefore Henry secretly married Anne Boleyn and declared himself supreme head of the church of England.

Why Henry VIII decided to set up the Church of England?

It was actually King Henry VIII and he actually did not create the church of England. The king did however seperate it from the Roman Catholic Church.

Because the Roman Catholic Church and Pope Clement VII refused to give the King an annulment (an end to his marriage), Henry VIII took religious matters into his own hands, separating the Church of England from the Pope's control and annulling his marriage to Catherine.
